Chapter 6 - by Jouley
Blaine - Secret Police
I stand
back and watch as Geoff and Alec drag the miniscule bohemian to her
trembling feet. Christ, I think to myself.. She can't be older than
12!
But it's not my place to question the orders of our commander. The bohemians, all of them, are dangerous criminals intent on destroying Planet Mall and everything Globalsoft stands for.
How could a 12 year old destroy Globalsoft?
I cringe internally as Geoff knocks the wind out of the young girls body, causing her to slump to the floor in crippling pain. I wan't to speak, tell my friends to leave the girl alone. There are plenty other bohemians we could be having fun with.
Soon Geoff is laughing.. Alec has begun tearing the clothes off the sobbing child, revealing her to my non-appreciative eyes. I don't want to look, and will not look.
Only Alec is now calling my name. What can I do but address my higher up? Glancing quickly at his face, I can see the devil in his eyes. He's smirking at me suggestively, and it's then that i notice one of hands pointed at me. Or more specifically, at a certain part of me.
"You need to do her first Blaine.. You've got the smallest weapon.. Though as tight as she is, i doubt even you'll get very far.."
I don't know what to do or say. I can't lose my job over this. Not over a bohemian. Even if she's only a little girl.
The other two continue to gawk at the girl, now stiff as a plank under their scouring eyes.
No.
I can't do it. I rather lose my pride than take what they want me to take from the poor girl laying infront of me.
"Can't do it Alec.. In a bit of a bad way down there.. if you know what i mean.."
Alec's eyes widen at my statement, then the two burst out laughing at my seemingly personal revelation. They don't know it's a lie, a lie to protect the girl from myself.
I know my lie wont protect her from Geoff or Alec, but perhaps Ill be able to go home tonight to my wife and my own 10 year old daughter, and not feel like a monster.
